PHP4 and Apache NOT working together!

Anon

Ok, here's the deal... I've installed PHP and Apache onto my computer. I'm using windows 98. I added the lines below to the httpd config, but when I start Appache Server I get an error, "cannot load c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll into server: (31) a device attached to the system is not functioning."

Here's what I have:
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I had the exact same prob!!! I have no clue what to do either. I did everything as it told me to...and this error comes...

Anon

if you read the php redme.txt properly then it will tell you to do this aswell....

add this to your httpd.conf

#for the cgi binary (you can use that one compiled with force cgi redirect too)
ScriptAlias /php4/ "C:/php/"
Action application/x-httpd-php4 "/php4/php.exe"
AddType application/x-httpd-php4 .php

and remove the crappy code tht you used, i also had the same prob, this should fix it!!!

Anon

actually that's what i had first. When I run that, the server runs correctly, but if I run a .php file, it doesn't recognize the php. for example if i had a file test.php with
<?php
echo "Hello";
?>

it will print those three lines on the browser instead of just the hello. Any idea's what i'm missing? I've gone over the read-me, the message boards, but i'm missin' it.

thanks

sam prob here..i have no clue why...maybe apache, php, and windows don't make a good match...if i had the time...I'd just load Linux and have a much more reliable system..

Hi have installed PHP/Apache several times sucessfully on Linux, but when it comes to
Windows I always take the easy way out. Go to sourceforge.com and download PHP Triad
and your problems will be solved.

If you're not wedded to Apache, check here for a quick easy install - http://badblue.com/helpphp.htm - this will tell you at least if PHP will play on your PC...

Thanks a ton! Up and running now.

Can you say me what you finally do to resolve the problem ? i can't get mine up and running.

Anon

Go to sourceforge.com and download PHP Triad
or I used Foxserve. It comes with Apache, PHP and Mysql, and it installs the three together. I also downloaded and editor from editplus.com that does really helps with php. If you have problems with the install of Foxserve, let me know.

Good luck.

I had the same problem that steve at the beggining. thx Jeff! PHP Triad is the end of php instalation problems. really good!

Your problem is that you must remember to copy "\php\php4ts.dll" to
"c:\windows\system\", when you load php as a module.

I worte some words how to do that, and more at my site: www.mdz.dk
